Rev Edward E. Hale, whose story The Man
Without Country" gave him high standing
among American writers, says IN the preface OF
this work that he has been satisfied for many
years that the time has come for new view of
the life and character of George Washington,

own memoranda, prepared from the history OF
his own life. Mr.. Hale has done the work con-
scientiously and well, and given US life of the
Father of His Country" which is at once IN
terestiug and reliable. He does not see Wash

thrown around him by the earlier biographers,
but studies him as a man, and finds him great,
strong, brave, well-poised, thoroughly unself-
ish-one who did the work appointed for him
with the highest ability and integrity of pur-
pose There is very much that is new in the
book, and all is interesting well-digested and
presented TO the reader.
